Sam & Cat Canceled! Popular Nickelodeon Show Gets the Axe

The show was canceled after only one season

The popular Nickelodeon show — starring Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy — had plenty of promise but a series of problems led to its early demise. Sam & Cat only lasted one season which ended with last Saturday night’s episode.

Alleged on-set tensions between Grande and McCurdy — stars of Victorious and iCarly respectively — made the show’s production very problematic. A series of other conflicts including the music careers of both actresses made the prospect of a second season impossible.

Sam & Cat was created by Dan Schneider and it was set to run for 40 episodes. Nickelodeon pulled the plug on the show after its 35th episode.
